Up for grabs: niche x 3

Posted by Robin on 16 December 2015 103 Comments — Comments are closed

2 niche bottles

What is it: a 70 ml bottle of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae, plus a 100 ml bottle of Nomenclature iri_del, plus a small (15 ml?) bottle of A Lab On Fire Mon Musc à Moi. All have been used lightly for testing.

Then tell me either a) your absolute favorite niche fragrance, or b) what thing, event or person made you thankful or happy in 2015, or c) something else you’ve been dying to post in a comment.
